While I am on the subject.
I like Milwaukee tools, corded and Batt. Loved Rockwell in days passed. So my entire extensive Milwaukee collection was purchased on-line from, you guessed it, RK. Wish I had an RK closer than 200 miles. The point is you CAN purchase quality brands from RK at great prices.
Chemicals are another Bonus. I Own a farm, I use chemicals. RK has brand and generic, great selection, great prices, prompt shipping.
I have local access to TSC, Runnings, mom and pop Ag stores, all have both strong and weak points, and all are on my list of outlets I patronize.
None are perfect, none are deliberately deceitful or misleading. If the critical folks ACTUALLY operated a business and experienced the pressures of meeting a large payroll, more sympathy might be paid to your concerns.
I suspect the vast majority of TBN folks are EMPLOYEES, never enjoying the gruelling rigors and pressures of being a sizable business owner.
Not knocking your choice, but until you sign your own paycheck, you've neither walked the walk or talked the talk.....
Some Folks would benefit greatly from the insights found in San Walton's book. And he only worked half days, either the first 12 or the second !!!! The clocks were there for sale, aisle 2
